1/16 ounce ball head jig head

Looking for 1/16 ounce ball head no collar jig heads with #10 light wire hooks.Trying to find these for 1” Gulp Alive minnows.Any other suggestions much appreciated.

These are a wee bit lighter than 1/16th but not too far off, .052 vs .0625.

I would very much suggest you look into the vmc tungsten tubby jig. The 1/16 has a #10, and that is the only one i have ever seen with that small of hook.

Or if domestic is more to your liking, look up Bugman at Simply Crappie. He spin casts everything he does I believe and they come out clean with no trim. Good man to deal with. He’s one of our member sponsors too.

When I read this the other day, I wondered how difficult it would be to modify a 1/16 mold to be able to use a #10 Hook.

I found out today that it's not all the difficult. My 2 new Do-it molds were delivered today. one does 1/32 &1/24 jigs the second does 1/16 & 3/32 jigs. They are made to fit #4 and #6 Hooks. I wanted to make some 1/24 #8 sickle hook jigs, The hook were just a touch to small to work without modifying the mold. A little bit of time with a file and a Dremel fixed the mold to be able to use the #8 sickle and a #10 regular bend hook.

Being collarless jigs they don't weigh exactly what Do it says Below is what the mold size says, weight in grams and apx fraction number. The weights are with a #10 mustad hook.

1/32 0.5g 1/55 oz
1/24 1.0g 1/28 oz
1/16 1.3g 1/22 oz
3/32 2.3g 1/12 oz

1/32 equals .89g
1/24 equals 1.18g
1/16 equals 1.77g
3/32 equals 2.66 g

If you can't find what your looking for, reach out to me, I'll see if I can help you out. I just started making my own jigs this year, so there maybe others on the forum that are making jigs professionally or semi professional that can help you get what you want.
